Fire Door Signage in Walkden

From the M28 district outwards, we cover Walkden and neighbouring towns such as Farnworth and Swinton for fire door signage surveys.

Fire door signage is the mandatory blue-and-white signs on fire doors telling people how the door must be used: keep shut, keep locked shut, or automatic fire door keep clear. We use the same method for buildings in Walkden.

Walkden FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Walkden?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Walkden is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.

Do you cover the area around Walkden?

Yes. As well as Walkden itself we cover nearby towns including Farnworth, Swinton and Tyldesley.

Is a missing sign a serious defect?

It will normally be recorded as a fail or advisory. It is quick and cheap to fix, so it is best done on the same visit.

Do all fire doors need a sign?

Most do. Self-closing fire doors usually need fire door keep shut signs; doors to cupboards and risers usually need keep locked shut; doors on hold-open devices need automatic fire door signs. Some doors, such as flat entrance doors and hotel bedroom doors, are commonly treated differently.
